KIYOKO and Jesse - What can I say
about the ladies in my life. Kiyoko, you have been with me when
things were tough and I only had $1.51 in the bank, and that was
only four year's ago. Thank you for believing in me and all the
love and support you have given me. To my little Princess Jesse,
words cannot describe the love I have for you. You bring joy to
me in so many ways. I love you and will always be there for you,
no matter what!
THANK THE BIG MAN UPSTAIRS - Some people call you
God, I call you the Big man upstairs. We all worship you in our
own way. I thank you for giving me the abilities and the opportunity
to be the man I choose to be. Thank you for your love and guidance
when it's asked for. Thanks Big Man!
BOBBY BREL - My main man Bobby! What can I say about you;
you have done more than I could have ever expected when we first
meet. For someone so young you have proven time and time again that
you are a man above men. You have been a huge part in the success
of the DVD series and so many of our other projects. Looking forward
to more success in the future. Thank you Mate!
KAIZEN NUTRITION - I was blessed to be sponsored
by Kaizen Nutrition since my arrival into the US in 1998. My good
friend and owner of Kaizen, Lou Routbard, has been like a father,
brother and friends at various times! I am truly grateful for your
support and friendship. I would also like to thank Lou's beautiful
wife Joan who is the Godmother to our Daughter; and of course, Lou
is the Godfather!
STEVE HUNTER - My best friend Steve Hunter! We hated each
other at first and grew to become best mates. You were the closet
thing I had to family and you were always there for me. You were
the best training partner I ever had and you are one of the most
giving people I know. When I left for the US, a big part of me was
left behind with you!
TANTOWEL TANNING PRODUCTS - For
giving me the Californian look with the California sun... I have
used TanTowel since they arrived onto the US market. I have used
TanTowel on photo shoots for both fitness and bodybuilding, as well
as with the athletes I work with. Thank you for allowing me to be
a part of the TanTowel team.
JASON ZICKERMAN - The J-Man, or we could call you
Mr. talented! There is not much you cannot do. You had my back when
I was down, l will not forget that! You wrote and performed my Rap
song. You did a great Job, even if I had to come and get you out
of bed to get to the recording studio.
MUSCLEMAG - I used to read MuscleMag and dream of the day
that I would be in there. My first exposure was given to me by the
late Steve Neece. Steve really helped me get the ball rolling on
my career in his Muscle Beach column. I will never forget my Star
Profile. It was a dream that came true! I still remember Bob Kennedy's
call to inform me that he was interested in having me write a monthly
column. It took Bob at least 1 minute to convince me it was really
him. Thank you for the opportunity! I would also like to thank Johnny
Fitness, Assistant Editor Sarah Wells and Dick Jones for making
me look good. Thank you MuscleMag!
VANCE & TRUE IMAGE CONCEPTS - Vance you were
there for me back in the day, you had my back and I have never forgotten
that, nor will I ever. Your creative talents have made this project
possible. You are the most creative 300lb man I know. Thanks Big
Dog!
GOLD'S GYM - It was a dream to come to Gold's Gym
and train at the Mecca. So many good things have come into my life
at Gold's. As a bodybuilder it drove me to be the best that I could
be and gave me the atmosphere and equipment that Champions are made
from! Many thanks for allowing me to do all my photography and DVD
shots at the Mecca. There is only one Gold's Gym! Special Thanks
to Matteo for taking such good care of me and my family.
GOLD'S GYM PRO SHOP - The Pro shop has provided clothing
